Cheap Halloween Costume Shopping Ideas -- Even at the Last Minute
2009-10-29 03:56:00 Garage Sale Warrior has tips on where to look for a dirt-cheap secondhand costume, and I see no reason why these options shouldn't still work last-minute. Also, as I mentioned in my Wise Bread post "28 Ways to Have Cheap Halloween Fun," procrastination can be a virtue when it comes to Halloween because most of the stores now have deep discounts. All the Star Wars costumes at Target seem to be 50% off, for example.

So far there are well over 100 comments, and probably 200 ideas or more, since many folks had more than one idea.CTA management definitely reads this blog, and I intend to ask them about some of the suggestions. Many of you asked for more stations and station rehabs, and others want some stations closed. Others suggested bus-only lanes and better street-level signage. Jeanine thinks most public-facing employees need retraining on how to interact with customers.Goldminetim jumped into the fray a few times and challenged some of the ideas.

NBC Too Dumb To Sell Smart Ideas?
2009-08-06 16:45:00 By: CT In the classic flick The Big Chill, Jeff Goldblum’s character, who labored for People magazine, worked under an edict to not write any article longer than the average American could read during the average crap. Apparenty, NBC is now going to be operating under orders to not try and sell the average American on anything that can’t be easily summed up in 30 seconds or less. So says, basically, Angela Bromstad, NBC’s president of primetime entertainment. Yesterday, she told the Television Critics of America that KINGS basically failed because it was “a little too high brow and too difficult to sell in a 30-second slot.†She went on to say “It doesn’t mean we’re not looking for big ideas. They have to be big ideas that the audience can grab on to.â€Â For the record, let us fill Mr. Bromstad in on the real reason KINGS failed. While the big problem was marketing, it wasn’t the concept of the show or the inability of the audience to understand so big a con...

Garden Path Ideas
2009-07-27 08:10:00 The path in my small urban garden wasn't really planned, it grew out of necessity and convenience. Before I started my garden everyone in the family cut across our "lawn" from the front stairs to the gangway to reach the side and back of the house. Once I started putting in plants I noticed that everyone still walked through the yard the same way and this resulted in plants getting stepped on. When the rains came water puddled and eventually became mud which people stepped in and brought into the house. One day my father showed up with a bunch of large concrete pavers and I took a few to create stepping stones in the garden hoping that people...

'Food, Inc.' Will Freak You Out, Offer No New Ideas
2009-07-15 14:11:00 Photo credit: Magnolia Pictures Anyone familiar with Michael Pollan's books or the bare bones structure of our food and agricultural system will not be all that surprised by what the documentary "Food, Inc." has to say about the revolting, hyper-speed processes of the American nutritional system (or perhaps it should be called the "anti-nutritional system"). If you really don't know what I'm talking about, then you should probably go see this movie and realize that almost everything you put in your mouth is probably bad for you, the environment, and whoever grew or raised that food item. The thesis of "Food, Inc." is straight-forward: A handful of corporations now control the vast majority of our foodmaking capabilities. They mistreat...

10 ideas for home-based businesses
2009-07-07 01:44:00 When you think of ahome business, you probably think of providing daycare for children and babies, house cleaning and window washing, bookkeeping and tax preparation, and lawn care. Many people have typical businesses such as these, and they earn a decent living by doing them too. But if you're considering starting your own business, there are other ideas you can use to earn a decent living too. These are not your typical home businesses, so you'll have the advantage of being a "one of a kind" business that has little or no competition.A good place to start is to check around your city and determine what types of products or services are not provided, but are needed. Here are ten home-based business ideas to get you started:1. Construct Crossword Puzzles- If you enjoy working with words, then this might be the job for you.

So much so that we kept expecting Linda Gray to walk into a scene! 2) HUMAN TARGET’S pilot revolves around our hero riding a high-speed train that left us jonesing for an episode of the wildly awful SUPERTRAIN. 3) DAY ONE might just as well be called JERICHO 2.0. In other words: Enjoy it while it lasts, kids. 4) Since PARENTHOOD is based on a movie, let’s give it a sequelesque title and call it PARENTHOOD: EIGHT IS ENOUGH. Because this sort of feels like what you’d get if we were catching up with the Bradford kids. 5) COUGAR TOWN will make anyone who loves DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES’ Susan very, very happy, ’cause it’s basically a sitcom with Courtney Cox playing Terri Hatcher’s role.

2009-06-25 07:27:00 Ashwani has been reporting from Cannes and he has put up an interesting post on how to produce winning PR campaigns. What he said that I like the most was that any campaign has to be built around a central idea, an idea that is simple yet executed well. I also remember having a chat with Prema Sagar before she left for Cannes (she is the only Indian member to be part of the jury) that one of the core things that she look for will be a clear and simple idea and how that has been executed.

Solar ETFs: Shining ideas?
2009-06-18 14:00:00 "With the Obama administration -looking to fund clean energy initiatives, solar energy exchange-traded funds could start to shine," says Doug Fabian in his Successful Investing advisory."T-he question now for investors is how and when to profit from the political clout of a new president who has promised to make alternative energy one of his top priorities."Certain solar ETFs have been on a tear of late, and one reason why we've seen a surge in the sector is due to the recent announcement by the Chinese government that it intends to support the development of solar energy."China's plan would offer $2.94 per watt for solar photovoltaic installations of more than 50 kilowatts. That amount may not sound like much money, but it certainly adds up fast in a huge and still vastly underdeveloped country like China."The spurt in solar ETF prices is reflected in the charts below of the Market Vectors Solar Energy (NYSE: KWT) an...

2009-06-05 12:17:00 Según el diseñador Adil Benwadih, la densidad urbana empeorará con el paso del tiempo y, en el caso de los franceses, un setenta por ciento (70%) de la población habitará en la metrópolis. Es por esto que, a entender de Adil Benwadih, se necesitará la utilización del Nervastella, un concepto de vehículo que promueve un sentido de escape, raudo y veloz en cuanto a huir de la congestión urbana se refiere.Es por esto que, en esta ocasión, este diseñador nos deleita trayendo ante nosotros el concepto Nervastella, un automóvil que cubrirá las exigencias de cualquier viajero al momento de escapar de la rutina, proporcionando, aparte de su comfort, suficiente espacio para los equipajes.Sin duda, maravilloso concepto. Esperamos que no sea necesario esperar al 2037, ni tener mayor congestión vehicular para comenzar a disfrutarlo!
Conceptos e ideas: CarGo
2009-06-03 12:30:00 Dadas las frecuentes congestiones del tránsito, el diseñador Adam Schacter ha creado el denominado concepto CarGo, basándose, principalmente en un vehículo de carga que adopta diversas longitudes, atendiendo a las necesidades y exigencias de los objetos a transportar.El concepto CarGo posee diversos modos, entre los cuales se encuentran el modo Estrecho, modo Compacto y modo Pick-up. El modo estrecho permite un margen de almacenamiento triangular, en tanto que el modo compacto posee una sección adherida a la cabina del vehículo, con varias ranuras en las cuales pueden almacenarse las cargas a transportar. Por su parte, lo más increíble del CarGo es que la sección que se contrae para el modo estrecho y el modo compacto, es la misma que se despliega para el modo Pick-Up, adoptando forma de camioneta, cuyo espacio va destinado a movilizar objetos de mayor tamaño.Gracias a lo manipulable que resulta este concepto, el CarGo será, sin lugar a dudas, el medio de transporte de carga más uti...
